ee- 4a To all whom it may concern:

Be itknown that I, \VILLIAM A. Turn 'BAYNE, a citizen of the United States, and aresident of Lancaster, in the county of Erie, State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Elec-- trical Systems-of Distribution, of which the following is a specification.

Myinvention relates to electrical systems of distribution and'more especially to sys-' tems in which a compensatory battery is employed together with means forregnlating the action of the battery inaccordance with changes in the electrical conditions of such systems.

I The" usual-type of electric generatonin which a-wound armature rotates within the influence of massive poles upon which are concentratedthe magnetizing windings possesses characteristics that are disadvantageous-in connection with the duties imposed upon boosters such as are used in conjunction with storage batteries, for maintaining regulation-to a'close average load. upon a generating system. 1 To accomplish these duties satisfactorily means'must be provided \Vllltll Will be sufliciently responsive to pracaction in a manner to prevent the load variations, above or below the approximate desired normal value, from reaching the generator.

Great trouble has beenexperienced from the fact that'- the regulating apparatus was not sufficiently responsive to cause the battery to take the largeand very sudden fluctuations-of load which fall upon many sys tems, and the generator would be suddenly palled upon totake excessive variations of oad...""

The objects-of my invention are, among others, to provide'means, whichw-i'll not-fonly cause the battery to closely respond to those gradual and more-or less permanentchanges 1n the electrical condition of. the system but which will also cause the battery-to respond to those large and sudden fluctuationswhich. are otherwise very detrimental to the successful operation of such systems. i

In general it is my object to provide a system' iii-which quicker action and'niore close regulation of the battery are obtained and in, which the eflicieney-is materially increased. With this end in view I provide tinnnrnn, Ola {LANCASTER new YORK, ASSIGNOR ro GOULD STORAGE BATTERY coMrAmr, A CORPORATION or new YORK.

v ELECTRICAL SYSTEM or DISTRIBUTION.

a coil the current in which varies in accordance with the current in the main distribution circuit of the system. In series with the battery I place a second coil whichis in inductive relation to the first and hence any sudden change of current in the first 0011 causes an e-lectromotive-force to be set up in the second coil in the proper direction, and of such a value as to quicklyand etficiently regulate the battery action. Such a regulating device or booster used in connection with another booster for regulating the battery responsive to the gradual and more or less permanent changes in the condition of the systenulorms a simple and efiicicnt regulating means which is responsive to all load changes of the system,

These and various other novel features of my invention will be more fully described hereinafter and shown iuthe accompanying one embodiment of my invention;

In the drawings A represents a main generator vhaving connected thereto the main distribution circuit 1, 1, feeding the translating devices T. Connected" across t.he circuit 1, 1, is the battery circuit 2, with the battery B therein. Also in the circuit 2, in series with the battery is the booster D pro titled with a tie-ht winding D i-n-series with a counter electromotive force machine Ev which is connected across the main circuit, 1, l. The counter-electromotive-force main series in the maincircuit. The booster D and counter-electromotive-force machine E are driven in any convenient and well-known manner, as by shunt motors (not shown).

conditions the field strength of coil]? is motive-force machine or exciter E .to generate an electromotive-force equal to and opposing that at the terminals of the en erator A, therefore no' current will ow through thefieldd) and the booster D will ru n idly.

field at F will inereaseand the electromotiveforce of the exciter E will be greater than the diiierei-l'ce of potential across the circuit .1, 1*, so'that a current will flow in the cod D and the booster D will generate an electromotive-force in the proper direction to drawing which represents diagrammatically just sufiicient to cause the counter-electro However, if the current in the, circuit, 1, 1,,increases, -the strength of the chine E is provided wit-h a field Winding F When the system is working under normal the extra current'instead of a lowing the,

cause the battery to discharge into the main circuit, 1, 1, to take the extra load imposed thereupon. If the load upon the generator should decrease below normal the reverse operations would take place and the battery would be charged'from the circuit, 1,1. Such an arrangement, however, is not efii ciently responsive to those large and sudden variations of load which may be". imposed upon such systems. I have,therefore, provided a transformer G, one coil or element G ofwhich is placed in series'in the circuit 1, 1, and the'other'. which is placed in the circuit 2,-in series with the battery B, and booster D. These coils, G. and G are'in inductive relation to each other, so that any sudden increase of current 'in the coil G will cause an electromotiveforce to be generated in the coil G? to boost. the voltage of the battery circuit 2and thus cause the batte to supply same to fell upon the generator A. If a sudden decrease of burreiit inthe circuit,

, tions of load upon the system while the less;

",the system. Thus 1, 1', should occur thereversejoperation of the boosting device, G would take place.- The-greater andthe more rapid the change or the change of load upon will be the action of the boosting device G to proper y. regulate the battery action. Thus the electromotive" force generated in: the Gait-G is responsive to and varies in' accordance with therate of changeof'c'urrentin the coilG', and the booster Gr is responsive to the rate ofchange'of load on i the booster or boosting deviceG will take care of all sudden fluctuasudden variations thereof will be taken care of by the'booster D.
